Sinossi

"Engineering Management of Land and Water Resources addresses the critical need for sustainable utilization of these vital environmental assets. Rapid population growth, urban expansion, and economic development exert immense pressure on water availability, as exemplified by case studies like Beijing. Integrating diverse aspects of water resource management presents significant obstacles, further complicated by the imperative to safeguard water quality from chemical pollutants and manage stormwater runoff effectively.\n\nThis book delves into sustainable water resource utilization, defining bearing capacity and outlining principles for integrated resource planning. It explores agricultural water requirements for optimizing irrigation practices and examines groundwater management within the broader hydrological cycle. Detailed discussions cover fresh water sources, differentiating surface and subsurface flows, and categorizing diverse applications into consumptive and non-consumptive uses across agriculture and industry. The text also provides an overview of India's water resource challenges and strategies.\n\nThis essential reference is designed for students, researchers, and professionals engaged in environmental engineering, resource management, and sustainable development.",
